Re: Does anyone swaddle their child while in the DBB?

[Guest guest]

We used to swaddle , but now he's more mobile and it doesn't

last so we've stopped. We just used a regular receiving blanket -

some of the ones were a little small and didn't work as well, but

most of ours were big and stretchy enough that they worked.

Maybe you can try the swaddle me on the inside of the sleep sack,

basically following your method but replacing the loose blanket with

the sleep sack?

I have not used a miracle blanket but have heard so many great

things about it, if your son really needs to be swaddled I think it

would be worth a try. According to their instructions you can leave

the legs out, so if it won't fit the bar it should still work.
